For boutique retained-search firms
Ask first.
Then email.
A 30-day pilot for firms approaching senior candidates they already know. Before you email, propose the exact message and explain its purpose. The candidate decides whether that message is allowed—so you know where it stands instead of waiting and following up again.
Request pilot accessOne active search. Candidates your firm already knows. Allowed messages continue through ordinary email; YourScout does not replace your inbox.
You propose one exact message.
They decide whether it is allowed.
Permission means that message may continue through ordinary email. It is not a read receipt, an endorsement, interest in the role, or a promise of a reply.
How one request works
One message.
One decision.
The pilot covers a small set of candidates your firm already knows. It settles one question—may we send this exact message—and leaves your normal email in place.
-
01
You approve the exact message
A partner or named colleague reviews the wording, recipient, and stated purpose before permission is requested.
-
02
The candidate decides
They can allow it, ask one limited clarifying question, decline it, block future requests, or revoke an earlier allowance.
-
03
Allowed messages continue by email
When allowed, the original message continues through ordinary email. You see the request’s status, never a false claim that the message was read or welcomed.
Built to do less
What it will
never do.
YourScout is a narrow pilot, not another system for finding people or pressing them harder.
- No candidate databaseFirms bring candidates they already know.
- No bulk campaignsEach request is tied to one named sender, exact message, and purpose.
- No payment bypassPayment cannot override a candidate’s choice.
- No read trackingDelivery status is not a claim of attention or interest.
- No promised repliesPermission never means an endorsement or a response.
30-day pilot scope
One search.
Low volume.
We are running this with a small number of boutique retained-search firms, with manual setup and limits agreed in advance. This is a pilot, not a launch.
Keep the work focused on a single retained search.
Pilot recipients already use YourScout or another compatible personal agent, they recognize the sender, and YourScout does not find or recommend candidates.
Keep volume intentionally low, with limits agreed in advance.
Setup and early operation are manual and supported.
Pricing is not established for this pilot.
